My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 228: A Brutal Encounter



"The trousers should be fine after washing..."

Chen Feng muttered to himself as he looked at the freshly cleaned trousers.

Just now, he was supposed to accompany Gu Xiaoqi and the other two to the Jing Nation Capital, but he remembered that he had dashed out of the bushes in a panic, leaving them uncleaned.

Fortunately, there was a water source nearby, so he washed both his trousers and hair before continuing on his journey.

After emerging from the small grove, Chen Feng held his head high once again.

He had always believed that he could achieve great things!

Although he hadn't succeeded in anything over the years, it didn't deter his conviction!

The Jing Nation Capital City would be his new venture!

...

After leaving the Molten Origin, the number of people gradually increased.

The Jing Nation was now powerful, and the current empress had just reached the Holy Realm!

As the capital of the Jing Nation, it attracted all those who aspired to greatness, either to pay homage or to seek opportunities.

Chen Feng was no exception.

He surged his true energy and hurried along.

After a day's journey, he finally approached the vicinity of the Jing Nation Capital.

On the other side,

Shangguan Yuyang had also returned.

However, she did not immediately head into the Jing Nation Capital.

On her way back, she carefully searched for nearby pedestrians, trying to find any news of Zhongren, Zhe Liang, and Gu Xiaoqi!

But she found nothing.

It was as if these three had vanished into thin air.

Shangguan Yuyang changed out of her black robe and put on a light, veiled garment.

She rarely wore such attire, but for some reason today, she felt like changing.

With a white veil covering her face, she looked like a celestial being as she sat in a tea pavilion by the roadside, sipping tea slowly, her demeanor graceful and gentle.

Although she lacked the mysterious allure of the black robe, she was even more captivating.

Many people noticed her.

Among them were cultivators, some of whom even became interested.

Of course, within moments, Shangguan Yuyang dealt with them unceremoniously, including the tea stall owner who shamelessly asked for money, all disappearing without a trace...

...

At this moment, Chen Feng finally arrived near the Jing Nation Capital.

He had not stopped on his journey, and when he saw a tea pavilion nearby, he decided to have a bowl of tea there.

As he sat waiting for his tea, he inadvertently noticed a woman in a green dress sitting at a nearby table.

Although she wore a white veil, her clear eyes instantly captivated him!

Chen Feng couldn't help but glance at her a few more times!

He felt a strange familiarity with the woman before him, similar to the feeling he had when he first met Gu Xiaoqi and the others... no, this connection was even stronger!

Chen Feng couldn't help but stand up.

He walked over to Shangguan Yuyang and bowed politely, saying, "Madam, you seem familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?"

"If you don't want to die, then leave," came a cold voice from beneath the white veil. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

Shangguan Yuyang, with her extraordinary beauty and icy demeanor, accumulated experience over countless years, making her transcend ordinary mortals.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Feng's attempt at conversation might have seemed innocent, but at this moment, with Chilian just killed and her unable to find the person behind it, she was annoyed and agitated.

Her instinctive reaction was one of disgust.

However, Chen Feng was not intimidated.

Instead of leaving, he stood there with his hands clasped in front of him and smiled again.

"Madam, please don't be offended."

"I'm just asking casually."

"My name is Chen Feng, and meeting you feels like fate. Could you tell me your name?"

Shangguan Yuyang's frowned even tighter.

She used drinking tea as a cover, mainly to find the person with the powerful sword energy capable of killing Chilian.

After all, such a level of mastery, even if hidden, could not escape her eyes.

As long as the person approached, she would surely detect it.

But Chen Feng kept interrupting her with his incessant chatter, which annoyed her to no end.

Seeing him blabbering on, Shangguan Yuyang became even more irritated!

There was a hint of killing intent in her eyes.

She slightly curved her fingers, about to unleash her true energy when the waiter brought the tea.

"Cus... customer... your tea is ready!"

The waiter, having witnessed her methods, trembled as he set the tea bowl and utensils on the table, and Chen Feng returned to his seat.

The killing intent in Shangguan Yuyang's eyes slightly dissipated.

Before she could continue her perception, she saw Chen Feng returning once again, this time placing the tea bowl directly on her table, his hair slightly disheveled, and a smile on his face as he said:

"Madam, are you here to visit relatives or for some other purpose in the Jing Nation Capital?"

"I've come here to seek opportunities, and the journey has been arduous..."

...

"Enough!"

Shangguan Yuyang coldly interrupted Chen Feng's words.

Her slender fingers pointed at him, indifferent as she spoke.

At this moment, her mind was entirely consumed by the matter of those three individuals who had slain Chilian.

She couldn't shake the feeling that they were somehow connected to the scholarly youth she had seen in the capital!

Tianji Pavilion enshrined, probably only he could wield a sword energy powerful enough to slay Chilian...

At this moment, Shangguan Yuyang was determined to deal with Gu Lan, find Chiyang Saint Sovereign, and repair the formation.

However, Chen Feng, oblivious to the situation, deliberately approached to speak!

Provoked by Chen Feng's persistence, Shangguan Yuyang couldn't help but want to take action.

Beside him, Chen Feng was startled. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Shangguan Yuyang's hand move.

Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaim as he fell backward, the chair tumbling with him.

With a crack, the chair landed on his back, scattering debris everywhere.

"Ah!"

Chen Feng groaned, clutching his head.

However, Shangguan Yuyang paid him no heed, unleashing her domineering true energy.

The road was becoming busier, forcing her to restrain herself somewhat.

But even so, the true energy she unleashed was beyond what an ordinary person could bear!

Chen Feng's face flushed from the impact, blood spewing from his mouth.

The waiter at the tea pavilion was terrified, his face pale as he hurriedly knelt outside.

For a mortal like him, meddling in the affairs of cultivators was unthinkable!

Nearby pedestrians were also drawn to the commotion, some novice cultivators emboldened by their newfound skills even began to comment.

Seeing the crowd gathering, Shangguan Yuyang stood up and flew away.

Chen Feng had been beaten half to death.

But he still refused to let go of this opportunity, driven by the lingering feeling of loss he had experienced over the years!

"Don't go, miss!"

Chen Feng watched as Shangguan Yuyang tried to leave, ignoring his injuries as he wiped his mouth and followed.

"Wait!"

"Wait for me! I have something to say..."

Chen Feng, his martial spirit ignited, his face pale, shouted after Shangguan Yuyang.

But how could Shangguan Yuyang pay him any mind?

Focused only on finding Gu Lan, she wanted to concentrate her efforts.

As for this teenager who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, perhaps due to her anger, she found his persistence repulsive.

Like a piece of sticky candy!

Before long, they were far from the main road.

Shangguan Yuyang stopped and turned around.

Chen Feng limped over, his face filled with joy.

"Miss, you've finally stopped."

"I told you, a beautiful lady like yourself couldn't be so heartless!"

"How about... we travel together to the Jing Nation Capital? I could provide some assistance, and I also wish to get to know you..."

"The sight of you is deeply comforting to me..."

Before he could finish, Shangguan Yuyang's eyes grew even colder. Seeing Chen Feng approaching, she struck out with a palm.

True energy roared out like a dragon's roar.

The target was Chen Feng!

Chen Feng retreated in shock.

"Boom!"

The true energy struck the ground where he had just stood, creating a shockwave that sent Chen Feng flying far away.

Without even sparing a glance, Shangguan Yuyang swung her arm and disappeared.

Such insignificant people, if not for fear of attracting Gu Lan's attention in public, would have struck long ago.

Now, dealing with them directly would only be a nuisance!

Shangguan Yuyang returned to the main road, dressed in a different attire, posing as an ordinary swordsman observing the passing pedestrians, but she found nothing.

She couldn't help but glance toward the direction of the capital, puzzled. Had those three already gone to the capital?

If so, would they visit Gu Lan's mansion?

She decided to head to the capital first and then see!

With these thoughts in mind, Shangguan Yuyang disappeared into the crowd once again, completely disregarding the unfortunate Chen Feng who was now lying buried like a dead dog underground...
